Chapter 324: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain, Chaos, Wizard War

It was clear that the Stark Clan, head of the ten great clans, had spent a considerable price to cultivate Rod Stark.

But he didn’t pose any significant pressure or sense of danger to Wang Ya.

After realizing it was Wang Ya, Rod Stark’s gaze immediately intensified. His originally calm demeanor became rather spirited, as if he viewed Wang Ya as a powerful rival.

Wang Ya: “…”

Wang Ya ignored the strange fellow.

His sights weren’t set on Level 3 Wizard Apprentices. They were too weak, and paying them any mind was a waste of time. If an Extreme Wizard Apprentice showed the will to fight him, then he might get a little excited.

At that moment, three more Wizard figures hurried over, arriving within the specified time.

They were all new faces Wang Ya had never seen before—no, that wasn’t right. He had met these three once before.

The chief of the Rhine Lineage, Sul Wizard.

And the chief of the Demon Dragon Lineage, Schneider Wizard.

The chief of the Fierce Tiger Lineage, ‘Begging’, seeing the situation, also grew annoyed. “What the hell does that Polaris guy mean? Wasn’t the appointed time two minutes? Why did they teleport away early?”

The Teleportation Tower was recharging, clearly having just been used for a large-scale teleportation.

“Three Extreme Wizard Apprentices, and they’re all chiefs… The members of the Dark Hand truly are monstrous.” Lando Wizard’s jaw dropped as he spoke in a hushed voice.

Naturally, all the Wizards present could hear him. However, Sul Wizard and the other two paid no attention to Lando Wizard. Only Extreme Wizard Apprentices were worthy of their notice.

Level 3 Wizard Apprentices were beneath their contempt.

Sul glanced at Wang Ya, finding him somewhat familiar. Then she remembered—he was the first-place winner of the Secret Realm competition. She was a little surprised by the speed of his Power progression.

But that was all. Their crossing paths during the Secret Realm competition was merely a minor interlude.

Now that he was a Heritage Wizard of the Illusory Dream Lineage and his Power had reached the level of an Extreme Wizard Apprentice, he was someone she had to take notice of.

“What do we do now?” Schneider glanced at Sul, who could only shake her head helplessly.

“What else can we do? We wait. It’s a freebie mission reward. Be a fool not to take it.” Begging scratched his hair and plopped down on the steps of the Teleportation Tower.

Lando Wizard sidled up to Wang Ya and whispered, “Wang Ya, my boy, you’re my lucky star! Not only do we get the mission reward for free, but we don’t even have to face any danger. After a little while, those guys should be teleporting back.”

As long as they reached the Teleportation Tower within two minutes, they would be considered participants in this law enforcement mission.

VMMMM!

The Teleportation Tower finished charging, ready for teleportation between Witch Arrays.

None of the six had any intention of going inside.

A full fifteen members of the Dark Hand had already gone. The result would be nothing short of a complete rout.

The members of the Berkeley Clan stood no chance of resisting such absolute power.

Suddenly, a new message came through their Wizard Marks.

The expressions of the six people present all changed.

‘Are you kidding me?’

White Lake Wizard City was under attack by Wizards from the Natural Ring Tower, with Wizards from the Berkeley Clan assisting them.

Beta Berkeley was personally in White Lake Wizard City, attacking the Resonance Core of the Long-distance Teleportation Witch Array.

‘Then what in the world is going on at Hanhai Wizard City?!’

The six of them faintly sensed that something was wrong. Could they have been tricked by the enemy, falling for a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain?

If they had made it in time and followed the others to Hanhai Wizard City, even if they received this news, they would have been too far away to help and unable to react in time.

It would have been a completely hopeless situation.

“Teleport to White Lake Wizard City immediately! Damn that Beta Berkeley! Why can’t he just die properly? He’s always stirring up trouble, pulling this kind of stunt again.”

Sul instantly understood the gravity of the situation.

For one thing, if the Resonance Core was destroyed, the Long-distance Teleportation Witch Array would be unable to transport anyone into the Divine Eagle Territory.

The time needed for repairs would be unknown, and it would be both time-consuming and laborious.

Most importantly, White Lake Wizard City was within the Dark Land’s borders, located in a relatively central part of the Divine Eagle Territory. It was a key commercial hub. If it were to be captured by Wizards from the Natural Ring Tower, it would be a direct slap in the face to the Dark Land.

First it was Celestial Wings Wizard City, and now White Lake Wizard City. The Wizard Influences of the Land of Mountains and Seas would probably all be laughing at the Dark Land’s expense.

“White Lake Wizard City has five Extreme Wizard Apprentices. It won’t be that easy for the enemy to break through, not to mention there are also Law Enforcement Wizards and City Lord Mansion Wizards,” Sul said in a cold voice, her expression grim. “White Lake Wizard City is a commercial hub where various powers mingle. I’m afraid there will be those who try to take advantage of the chaos.”

The Wizards from the Natural Ring Tower were one part of the problem. Those Wild Wizards are usually timid, but if chaos breaks out, they might operate under the assumption that the rules of Darkness can’t be enforced on every single one of them—that the law can’t punish the masses. It’s not impossible they’d jump in to get a piece of the action.

The spatial fluctuations of the Teleportation Array had just enveloped the six of them when, in the next moment, they abruptly died out.

Lando Wizard’s expression turned uncharacteristically solemn. “The internal teleportation in White Lake Wizard City has been destroyed. The situation is, you could say, very bad.”

“It’s too strange. Things shouldn’t have developed this quickly. White Lake Wizard City is a major city. Could the City Defense Witch Array have failed? Besides the five Extreme Wizard Apprentices, there should be other hidden powers.”

The Demon Dragon Chief, Schneider, went so far as to rip the beard from the corner of his mouth.

They had originally planned to teleport over, provide reinforcements, crush the invading Natural Ring Tower Wizards, and stabilize the order in White Lake Wizard City.

Sul’s brows furrowed, her beautiful face clouded with gloom. “New information has arrived. The spatial resonance of the Long-distance Teleportation Witch Array is also gradually fading. It seems the enemy used some special means to block the connection between the resonance points.”

“The good news is, they haven’t destroyed the resonance points. The Teleportation Tower’s permissions have been temporarily changed by the Darkness hub. We can use the long-distance teleportation to get to the vicinity of White Lake Wizard City.”

“The bad news is, it’ll probably only be the six of us. The Teleportation Witch Array in Hanhai Wizard City has also been destroyed, apparently through a suicidal act of sabotage. If Polaris and the others want to come, they’ll need to make emergency repairs to the array, which will take at least ten minutes, conservatively. And with its spatial resonance points blocked, the Long-distance Teleportation Witch Array will also need some time before it can be used again.”

A vicious glint appeared in Begging’s eyes. He clenched his fists, the sound of his knuckles cracking as his aura slowly began to rise. He sneered, “It’s no big deal. Six people it is. You think the Natural Ring Tower would dare send sixty Wizards over?”

‘If they really sent sixty Wizards, that would mean both sides were directly declaring a Wizard war.’

The Mountain and Sea Contract was still in effect. No Wizard Influence would be so foolish as to rashly start a war; there was no point.

Wars required the backing of interests.

Wang Ya didn’t quite understand the reason for the Natural Ring Tower’s actions. Celestial Wings Wizard City was the first time, and this was the second. Weren’t they afraid of a counterattack for repeatedly plucking the tiger’s whiskers of the Dark Land?

After the Celestial Wings Wizard City incident, the Natural Ring Tower had paid a large amount of precious Extraordinary Resources in compensation.

Regardless, he was a member of the Dark Hand, a Wizard of the Dark Land. He had to go to White Lake Wizard City.

A dark inkiness spread in the depths of his eyes as the Fire Element Particle Energy within his body began to split and fuse, concealing an immense kinetic and thermal energy that was ready to be unleashed.

The Burning Silence Particle Energy and Burning Silence Witchcraft were the source of his confidence. He dared to fight even against an Extreme Wizard Apprentice.

The three chiefs gave him a significant sense of danger, but it wasn’t a feeling of insurmountable despair.

‘If they really push me to the brink, I’ll just whip up a fission reaction and let the Wizard World welcome its first-ever Extraordinary atomic bomb.’

‘Under the power of nuclear peace, all living beings are equal.’

The next chapter should be around 7 or 8 o’clock.
